Understanding Hash Functions in Blockchain Security
Hash functions serve as the mathematical backbone of blockchain security through two critical properties: **Collision Resistance** Makes it computationally infeasible for two different inputs to produce the same hash output, ensuring data uniqueness. **Preimage Resistance** Prevents reverse-engineering the original data from its hash, creating a one-way mathematical function. These properties enable blockchains to maintain tamper-evident records. Any modification to data produces a completely different hash, making unauthorized changes immediately detectable.
